I know about "outer space" so I'm assuming there must be an "inner" space?

  1. Inner space relative to Earth is all the space between the sun and the asteroid belt.  Everything past that is outer space.


  2. "Powers of Ten", good suggestion Richard :) is available on Youtube, someone put a link up yesterday, perhaps you Richard? It was helpful to me, thanks.

  3. Space is everywhere around us but outer space refers generally to the regions beyond the Earth and its moon.

  4. Not in the normal "new age" meaning.  However it is common to use the term microcosm for the world of the very small.  Space exists in small objects as well as the cosmic.  We exist between the macrocosm and the microcosm.  May I suggest you watch a video entitled POWERS OF TEN.    It is a classic work by Charles and Ray Eames.  View it at www.powersof10.com   I envy anyone who watches this documentary for the first time.  It is mindblowing.

    April:  Inner and outer SYSTEM are terms associated with the solar system, with inner referring to the planets out to Mars.  Not inner space.  Only new age types ever use the "innerspace" term.  One early superman movie used the term for meaning "underwater" .  Superman movies have never been concerned with science.

    jjillyli:  It wasn't me.  I don't touch you-tube.  But that film has a lot of fans.  I saw it first in 1967.
